I should say though:

Babel >>> Fabregas.

Wow did Babel make him look like a pylon out there.

As for that penalty, it was definitely soft, but I think that all has to do with where the ref was. From the ref's perspective it looked like a clear foul and that Babel was pulled down, but from a better review angle it looks like Babel tripped on the ball.

As for the Hleb call, Kuyt even said that he made contact with him but Hleb grabbed his arm and went down. The ref was in a much better position to see that call.

Still, bad call on the ref's part, one of the few times its actually gone my way as a fan.
